Exploration on the Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine Immunization Schedule for Children Aged 3-8 Years

An open clinical trial design was used. A total of 652 healthy children aged 3-8 years, 326 with vaccination history and 326 without vaccination history, were selected to receive two doses of normal commercially available quadrivalent influenza vaccine according to a 0 -, 30-day schedule.

Immunogenicity: blood samples were collected for HI antibody detection before the first dose of influenza vaccine (before immunization), 30 days after the first dose of influenza vaccine (before the second dose of influenza vaccine) and 30 days after the second dose of influenza vaccine.

Adverse events (AE) were observed 30 minutes, 0-7 days and 8-30 days after each dose of vaccination by active follow-up combined with guardian reports. Occurrence of SAEs between 31 and 180 days after the second dose of vaccine.

Criteria for evaluation of immunogenicity According to the European Union seasonal influenza evaluation criteria, if the HI antibody seroconversion rate of each subtype of influenza virus was ≥40%, the HI antibody positive rate was ≥70%, and the GMI of each subtype of influenza virus was ≥2.5 times 30 days after any dose of vaccination, the vaccination schedule was considered to have acceptable immunogenicity.

Safety outcome MEASURES The occurrence of adverse reactions/events after each dose of vaccination was observed. The incidence of ① total adverse reactions/events, ② incidence of grade 3 or above adverse reactions/events and SAE, ③ incidence of adverse reactions/events severity classification, ④ incidence of adverse reactions/events by type (inoculation site and systemic, SOC, PT) and incidence of adverse reactions/events severity classification were calculated.

Note: Known adverse effects of quadrivalent influenza vaccine that have been identified in previous clinical studies are as follows:

Inoculation site (local) adverse events: pain, induration, swelling, rash, redness, pruritus, cellulitis.

Adverse events at non-inoculated sites (systemic) included fever, diarrhea, constipation, dysphagia, anorexia, vomiting, nausea, myalgia (non-inoculated sites), arthralgia, headache, cough, dyspnea, pruritus at non-inoculated sites (without skin lesions), mucocutaneous abnormalities, irritation/inhibition, acute anaphylaxis, and fatigue/fatigue.

Inclusion criteria

• 3-8 years old;
• The legal guardian / authorized agent gives the informed consent and voluntarily signs the informed consent to comply with the requirements of the clinical trial protocol;
• Medical history, physical examination and clinical diagnosis, who to the immunization of this product.
• children who have received two or more doses of influenza vaccine (4 weeks apart) before the season of this influenza epidemic (2 doses of influenza vaccine do not need to be vaccinated in the same epidemic season or consecutive epidemic season, but can be interpreted as children who have received two or more cumulative shots).

History of l No immunization: children who had not been vaccinated or had previously received <2 doses of influenza vaccine before the influenza season.
